Although it's an old disussion I don't know, if there is room for the big 
picture....but....
- Windoze is on it's best way to become somthing like an incompatible 
componentware (C#, VB.Net etc.)
- There is no crossplattform RAD-tool at the moment.
- Only the Qt-framework....which is far away of being a RAD-tool.
- Java is still crap (sorry....my personal opinion)
- ...and Gambas, relaying on Qt, could be the PITA of M$
- Benoit said, he will not port Gambas to Windoze...but he would help, if 
there is someone willing to do the job. :-))))))
- aside of this...developing once, compiling twice is the right way to serve 
both platforms.

I've developed some nice tiny tools with Gambas...I can't count the requests 
of windoze- friends and -customers, to have this apps on their M$-machines.
- Remote-X is, for most of them, rocket sience. :-/
- migrating their Windoze-mules to a Linux-F1-racer in one go? ...no way!
- German saying: salami-tactic...means "slice-wise"! ;-)

Never give your customer what he needs! ....always give him what he wants! 
...with an option! ;-)

There IS a market for Gambas on other plattforms!!! 

Regards....awaiting friendly fire! ;-)
